Jo Whiley reveals she ‘shudders’ over creepy message disgraced rapist Russell Brand wrote to her when on her show
JO Whiley has revealed the creepy written message she received from rapist Russell Brand after he appeared on her show makes her shudder.
Brand, 51, was this week sentenced to ten-and-a-half years behind bars after he was convicted of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others.
Speaking on her podcast Dig It, DJ and radio presenter Jo, 61, recounted an uncomfortable note that Brand had once penned to her.
She explained to co-host Zoe Ball: “I’ve got a show book, people sign my book when they come on the show.
“I’ve got a signature from Russell and it just refers to me as a MILF.
“I keep looking at the bookshelf, it’s like it’s burning a hole in my bookshelf at the moment.

“I’m going to have to tear the page out and burn it, I really am. It just makes me shudder. It makes me shudder.”
The acronym MILF stands for “Mother I’d Like To F**k”.
At Brand’s sentencing earlier this week, Mr Justice Bennathan told the shamed star: “About 20 years ago, Russell Brand, you were becoming famous.
“You were clever – and in many people’s eyes, funny and charismatic.
“You had also become a sexual predator.”
Meanwhile, The Sun revealed Brand is set for a move to the “Monster Mansion” prison.
The disgraced ex-Hollywood star is being assessed for the switch to HMP Wakefield.
Sources said the Category A prison is safer for Brand as staff are seen as better equipped.
One said: “Brand is being risk-assessed for a move to Wakefield.
“There are still some hoops to go through but staff at the prison are expecting him.
“He is still at Category B Wandsworth at the moment but is likely to be moved in the next few days or weeks. And Wakefield is the most likely place.”
HMP Wakefield is one of eight Category A high-security men’s prisons in England.
